Juventus Targets Zero-Cost Signings to Fill Four Squad Gaps

Juventas has announced a cautious approach to the closing phase of the summer transfer window, aiming to add four players without increasing its wage bill. The club will rely on loan deals with purchase options, free‑transfer contracts and player swaps after recent spending on prospects such as Nevio Alajbegović and Randal Kolo Muani exhausted most of the budget.

The priority areas are goalkeeper, defence, midfield and a backup striker. While Lucas Chevalier was offered, Juventus rejected the French keeper, preferring to monitor options like Japan’s Zion Suzuki or Guglielmo Vicario. Defensive and midfield targets are being scouted among out‑of‑contract players and young talents, with possible exchanges involving clubs such as Napoli, which is also linked to striker Sebastiano Esposito.

The strategy reflects a focus on sustainable squad reinforcement ahead of a demanding season across domestic and European competitions.
